The Rameder tow bar for the A1

Perfect workmanship, a dynamic design, an excellent chassis and a lot of luxurious extras: The Audi A1, only 3.95m in length, is quite on a par with its bigger brothers. But what about its utility? Well, 270l of boot volume are o.k., of course, but not really enough for a real holiday or your mountain bike etc. A solution that is as smart as it is inexpensive is a Rameder tow bar. You can find it at www.kupplung.de or at every car dealer or garage.

Such a tow bar will turn your A1 into a real truck for stuff you wouldn’t even be able to fit into an Audi A6 Avant without it. And with a bicycle carrier, which, incidentally, you can order at www.kupplung.de, you can tow up to four bicycles. No problem at all, given the carrier’s 86kg vertical load and a towing capacity of 1,200kg. A standard trailer from a DIY store, a motor cycle trailer or a small caravan are also o.k.

If you are an active person or have to transport a lot of furniture or gardening stuff your tow bar should be available immediately at all times. You can order it for EUR294 and up at www.kupplung.de, incl. a 13-pin electrical kit. But if you have been very particular about your A1, down to the smallest detail, perhaps, you probably don’t want to see it feature anything that is only a wee bit different. But that’s no problem either, as Rameder also has a removable version to be inserted from the rear that, if need be, is totally invisible. At a garage, the entire set is installed in about four hours. Costing only Euro 427,51, this Rameder set is thus much below an original tow bar’s price EXW.

You want an even bigger boot? You can have it! Even an A8 driver will be consumed by envy when he sees what loading space a Rameder roof box provides. For the A1, www.kupplung.de features a lot of proprietary or other renowned manufacturers’ products.
